Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp plans to give Calvin Ramsay the chance to impress with the first team in pre-season rather than immediately send him out on loan.
The 18-year-old has agreed to join the Reds from Aberdeen this summer for a fixed fee of just over £4million, with a further £1.5m agreed in appearance-related bonus payments. Klopp is a big admirer of the teenager, who made 33 appearances for the Dons in his breakthrough season and was voted the Scottish Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year.
Ramsay is set to become Liverpool's third signing of the window after Fabio Carvalho joined on a free transfer from Fulham, while Darwin Nunez arrived in a potentially-record-breaking switch from Benfica on Tuesday. Although the Reds have been linked with a new midfielder, it is understood the signing of Ramsay will be the Reds' final piece of business this summer, as Klopp happy is with his squad.
